Determination of Effective Thoracic Mass

Thoracic Mass Nature Determination; What Modality Is Better in Pediatric Age?

Background The first step in assessing thoracic lesions is chest X-ray, but the optional imaging procedure for the final diagnosis is controversial. We aimed to examine the diagnostic accuracy of imaging modalities in pediatric thoracic masses. <em...

Mass determination from Constraint Effective Potential

The Constraint Effective Potential (CEP) allows a determination of the mass and other quantities directly, without relying upon asymptotic correlator decays. We report and discuss the results of some mass calculations in λΦ 4 4 , obtained from CEP and our improved version of CEP (ICEP).

Determination of effective mass density and modulus for resonant metamaterials.

This work presents a method to determine the effective dynamic properties of resonant metamaterials. The longitudinal vibration of a rod with periodically attached oscillators was predicted using wave propagation analysis. The effective mass density and modulus were determined from the transfer function of vibration responses. Predictions of these effective properties compared favorably with la...

Rare thoracic mass lesion--myofibrobastoma.

Mesenchymal soft tissue masses are uncommon tumours of the chest. Myofibroblastoma is a recently described entity consisting of cells with origin from the myoepethelial cell, mostly seen as benign well-circumscribed neoplasms of the breast tissue. Though usually classified as a benign lesion, rarely it can be multifocal and prone to recurrence. We describe below the case of a 26-year-old female...
